100 passengers in air emergency
From correspondents in Belfast
12jul04
A FLIGHT for British budget airline Easyjet made an emergency landing in Belfast today, but none of the 100 passengers on board was hurt, airport officials said.
Emergency services were put on stand-by after the Boeing 737 reported a breakdown in the hydraulic system of its landing gear on a flight from Liverpool, England.
"The passengers were disembarked in the normal way down the steps," said airport spokeswoman Debbie Matchett.
"They were taken into arrivals and offered medical assistance if they wanted to talk to anyone, if they felt in shock after the experience.
"Thankfully it all went well and they all landed safely."
Technicians later said the plane had been leaking hydraulic fluid.

Here we go again...the usual educated responses. I'm sure there are plenty of 737 pilots / engineers / pax who are interested.
Does the first 'P' in PPRUNE stand for 'pompous', by any chance??? Seems that way these days.

Well Said Pax-Man!
I personally think alot of people will be interested, No matter who they fly for or what they fly. The only shame of these kind of threads is that they very often contain little information on the incident and tens of posts all stating "Why do you bother, you are obviously a journo" and "yet another pilot bashing thread"
OR just as worse is "Hero pilot saves millions of lives as he valiantly steers his death trap jumbo jet away from schools, assylum seekers and nuns while battling with a, possibly sabotaged by osama himself, blown lightbuld in the rear bog!"
Keep the rumours coming! But please try and stick to the matter in hand eh people?

Unfortunate the passengers were so traumatised they had to have medical attention.
The crew were deemed so hardy and resilient after their experience that they were sent straight back to Liverpool to operate to Palma and back, getting home about 3.30am.
Good to see EZY remains utterly committed to its staff's welfare.

With a full scale emergency the Emergency Services do turn out on mass. And then resume normal just after the aircraft lands. So god forbid that anything went wrong with the aircraft on landing they are already there and not a few minutes drive away. Anyway how many hydraulic systems does a 737 have anyway??
Think this demonstrates just how safe Commercial aviation is, just another day at the office.
